2021 Marquette
Dry Red
The Marquette vines growing at our special site have produced world class wines for many years. The 2021 vintage was no exception.

After careful processing in the cellar and a quick fermentation, the wine spent 10 months in neutral French oak before being bottled without filtration.

2020 Marquette
Dry Red
While a difficult year for us humans, 2020 was a great year for grapes in Vermont. A warm, dry summer developed the fruit to perfection, leading to a Marquette with so much color, fruit intensity, and richness that you might not recognize it as Marquette. Four years of bottle aging has led to a concentrated, cohesive, and beautiful wine that showcases the very best of our growing region.
